Sadness, anger... a turmoil of confused emotions carried by anxiety. The emotive feeling from trance and the violence from jungle with a psychedelic twist. |

After a couple of years since I last posted anything here (refer to
this thread), here's something I was working on just before I had a major software breakdown in my beloved compy, in early 2004.
Unlike my previous track, this is not an epic tune. Not only because I was often running out of system resources after trying to sync so many synths playing a 64-bar melody, but because I felt this was already being done at the time by artists such as Ill.Skills, Paul B. and the infamous John B. The trancestep they were producing seemed rather melodic, and it felt like it lacked the harder edge drum'n'bass could provide.
If I were to describe it, I'd call it a full-on psychedelic trancestep tune. Faster than your average trance tune (by mere 30 bmp
), and closer to trance than most trancestep I've heard so far, I'm trying to simply push trance music to a different ground. The richness of layers found in psychedelic trance, with different melodies appearing from time to time as if it were a mosaic, the rolling aggressive bassline from the darker side of drum'n'bass added on top of the fast paced drum loops typical of the genre that, despite of the speed, are pleasant to dance to. Along with that, a bit of 303.
Feedback is really appreciated. If you know of similar tunes, please name them. I hope you enjoy the tune.
p.s.: I've never seen "Ju-On: The Grudge", by the way, so the tune is not related to the film in any sense other than the common dark atmosphere (although I don't expect my tune to be as scary
).
